Parts were putchased and have been lying around since months. With Christmas break finally the time arrived to put everything together.
The setup consists of a 4″ 10micron clamp that sits on the mount’s head. Next a 10micron 4″ dovetail length 400mm. This should provide (based on sketcheds) sufficient space between the two telescopes.
At both ends of the dovetail two clamps were bolted-on: the original Baader Pan EQ 3″ clamp of 33cm (holding the C14) ; and second the 200mm 3″ 10micron clamp holding the Esprit refractor.
Things worked out well, balancing is ok and the GM2000 does not suffer in any way. I did need to add a 10kg counterweight. This Geoptik counterweight as a built-in adapter that can be removed, bringing the axis diameter from 30 to 40mm, so I removed that adapter to fit the shaft of the GM2000 (the GM1000 has a 30mm counterweight shaft)
